I have the shade "Committed", and I am...Committed to it, that is. This was my first time using a liquid lipstick. I've used a lot of glosses and glasses, but never liquid lipstick. I love that it goes on matte, and dries quickly.
The shade is adorable, and great for wearing every day. I love the subtle vanilla/mint scent. I love that the colour is buildable. If you want a subtle hint of colour, one coat will do. If you want to make your pucker pop...add a couple more layers as it dries.

Brookside Chocolate Tablet Bar in Mango Coconut Crunch

I have been wanting to try this bar for awhile, but my local grocery store can't seem to keep it in stock. That should have been my first clue to its deliciousness. I was finally able to get my hands on one, and boy oh boy was it worth the wait!
The packaging is really pretty, I love the orange foil wrapper. The design of the tablet bar is fun, and functional. You can have a small square, a larger square...or if you're me...you just gobble the whole thing down.
The dark chocolate is creamy and slightly bitter, which balances the sweetness of the mango and coconut. The rice crisps give a really fun texture to the bar.
I would definitely buy this bar again.

I LOVE these wedges. The "Savoury" are my absolute favourite! Whenever I have fish n' chips, we always have the McCain wedges. The "batter" for lack of a better word is super tasty! Some potato wedges are a little mealy, but not these potatoes!Just the right blend of herbs and spices. I like them a little on the crispy side, so I leave them in the oven a little longer than is recommended on the directions.
My family like to dip them in ketchup, but I like mine plain, or drizzled with a little sriracha sauce.

Whenever I'm feeling down, and in need of a good laugh...I'll pick up one of these books. Stephanie Plum works in a bond enforcement office...and is quite possibly the worst bounty hunter in the history of the world. With the help of her sidekick Lula (the former "ho"), her sometime boyfriend, cop Joseph Morelli, and her crush, fellow bounty hunter Ranger, Stephanie aims to clean up New Jersey, one criminal at a time...that is...if she can keep her car from getting blown up...again.
If you want a book to simply entertain you...I can guarantee this is the series to do it. It starts with "One For The Money", and the books are named sequentially ("Two For The Dough", "Three to Get Deadly" etc.)

I read this book years ago, and enjoyed it. I picked it up again recently after talking to a friend about it, and gave it another read. I enjoyed it SOOOO much more the 2nd time around...maybe because I had an idea of what was happening, so I was less confused.
I love the concept of time travel, it's always intrigued me. And I love a book that can make me have a good cry. This one had that...in spades!
No matter how well written a book is, I have to like the characters. And I did! I LOVE Henry and Claire!
One piece of advice...don't watch the movie before you read the book... it's terrible!

I received this in a subscription box last month, and I was super excited to try it. I'm a huuuuuuuuge fan of Benefit's "They're Real" mascara, and was hoping this mascara would live up to my expectations. Did it? Yes...and no.
After a few attempts, I think I have the curling down pat. I don't even need to use my eyelash curler any more! This mascara curls my lashes beautifully! Unfortunately...the volume just isn't there. That's the only downside. So, now I use the Roller Lash to curl my lashes, and when it dries, I follow with a coat of "They're Real" It's the best of both worlds.

I had read the reviews on Chick Advisor, and was excited to buy one and try it for myself. There is a reason this bar is receiving such stellar reviews! It's wonderful! The chocolate has a great snap to it, the cherry is just tart enough to balance the dark chocolate. I didn't really taste the pomegranate, but it didn't diminish my enjoyment.
I love how the bar is divided. Some smaller squares, and some larger ones, so if you only want a small piece of chocolate, it's easy to portion. It's a little spendy for a bar of chocolate, but well worth the price!

Best phone ever! I recently upgraded from the 5C (8GB) to the 5S (16GB) and it feels like I have a million times the space on this phone! The picture quality is miles better than the 4S and the 5C, and they both had pretty good clarity. The operating system does use about 5GB of your space...leaving you with 11GB free. But I have close to 30 apps on the phone, and about 300 songs, and still have lots of space left. I know the 6 and the 6+ are the newest iPhones on the market, but I don't know that I'll ever upgrade. I love this phone that much. -

I could spend HOURS in my local Chapters. Books as far as the eye can see, which is heaven for a bibliophile like myself. The staff is knowledgeable, super friendly, and what they don't know, they are happy to find out for you.
WE also have a Starbucks in our Chapters, so it seriously is heaven. I love the non-book items they sell too. Home decorations (which can be pricey...but look in the clearance section), book lamps, journals, CD's...the list goes on.
I would move in if they would let me.

This is really good ice cream! (My favourites are the Red Velvet and the Cinnamon Bun) It's really creamy! Maybe a little on the sweet side (but that could just be because the flavours I've chosen WOULD be sweet) Fantastic price point. It sometimes goes on sale for $3.00 at my Independent Grocers. -
